            Bug ID: 113904
           Summary: LO Writer won't start with most of latest kernels if
                    JRE is enabled
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.6.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: den_lin at posteo.de

What is observed: when trying to run Writer, it shows splash screen for a split
second and then exits without any error messages.

Personally I observed this bug in Manjaro with the kernels 4.9 to 4.13 (I
haven't tried earlier or more recent kernels). The only one that isn't affected
by this bug is 4.10.

The bug is observed at least in Manjaro and Ubuntu (I haven't tried Ubuntu, but
this thread
https://askubuntu.com/questions/927859/libreoffice-writer-crashes-on-start
suggests so).

In Manjaro it is observed on both my desktop and netbook with very different
hardware. Again, I'm not the only one affected, judging by this thread:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/libreoffice-writer-fail-after-system-upgrade-solved/26623/25

Both threads are marked as solved because turning off JRE in Tools -> Options
-> Advanced makes Writer work with these kernels, but I thought I should report
it, because it can't be called normal behaviour. Besides, someone might need
JRE to be turned on.
